Mrs. Gu staggered and nearly fell to the floor. Mr. Gu raised his finger, pointed at her, and growled apoplectically at the top of his lungs, "How dare you talk like that to your mother, you scoundrel! Do you know how many reporters are waiting for you in China? What will you get if you go back, huh? You must've lost your mind. Fu Zhi has never done anything to you, so why must you go cause her trouble? You two are the same age. Why can't you learn from her? I guess it's because your mother and I have been too lenient with you. Now, you don't even know how to behave yourself!"

"She's a b*tch!" Gu Yan shouted back, gritting her teeth. "She blew the whistle! She just wants to see me fall, yet you still side with her? If you like her so much, then ask her to help you get your job back!"

As Gu Yan was talking, she gripped the handle in her hand tightly and walked toward the door, "After all, I'm not as good as her in your heart anyway. Since she won't leave me in peace, neither will I!"

"Yanyan, listen to me. No school will accept you if you go back to China now. The college entrance examination is around the corner, so you..."

Mrs. Gu wanted to stop Gu Yan, but her father stopped her midway. "Let her go! She's nothing to the Lu Family, and unless something is wrong with them, there's no way they will let her stay in their house! I'm telling you, Gu Yan, if you take so much as one step out of this house, I will never treat you as my daughter anymore!"

The next day...

After the dust settled, the participants from China were ready to go back to their country on Monday.

However, due to the bet between Yuan He and Fu Zhi, as well as the fact that Fu Zhi did not plan to call off the bet, Yuan He was kicked out of the Physics Association by Yu Sui and his men in the morning.

As a result, Yu Sui had to pick up the baton and take the team to the airport.

In the afternoon, at six o'clock, Yu Sui led a team to send off Xia Tian and Zhou Zihuai. Since Fu Zhi had an auction to attend at night, and Jiang Zong and Lu Yubai had some personal matters to attend to, the three of them continued to stay in Country M.

Fu Zhi had heard from Bai Yao before that most of the members of Lu Yubai's mother's family were military officers who had served the country well. As for his parents, they stayed in Country M with his younger brother all year round.

Lu Yubai was going to stay with his parents for a short while. By right, he should bring Fu Zhi along. However, considering his younger brother's erratic behavior, his closeness to Lu Chuwan, as well as the fact that he had just undergone another failed operation, he figured that Fu Zhi's appearance would only irritate Lu Yu'an.

Thus, while he was talking to Fu Zhi, he seemed a little nervous and worried. "It's not convenient for you to stay in my house, but I assure you, all of them like you very much. When Yu'an's condition gets better and we return to China, I will take you to meet them, okay?"

Lu Yubai seemed to be very anxious. Fu Zhi nodded, but before she could ask him about Lu Yu'an's condition, he had already left the embassy with his belongings.

...

Time flitted by, and the second day arrived.

At 7:00 p.m, the Ford Family's auction was about to begin in one of the busiest downtown neighborhoods. The event started promptly at 8:00.

All of the invited guests were either rich or had a high prestige.

Fu Zhi headed to the auction in the Li Family's car.

The Ford Family and several important people were already there at the auction, but no reporters dared to approach them.

Therefore, they just raised their cameras high and waited with bated breath for Li Nanli's arrival.
